Getting a tattoo can be nerve-wrecking—aside from the pain involved during the process, so many things can go wrong that will make the decision of inking anything permanently onto our skin seem like the biggest mistake of our lives.
However, when we come across truly remarkable pieces of tattoo art, it seems like all that risk is going to be worth it.
Trend-focused website So Bad So Good has compiled a collection of exceptional—in some cases, mind-blowingly intense—tattoos for your inspiration and visual pleasure.
From a whimsical join-the-dots tattoo that links up to form a giraffe, to an amazingly intricate map of Venice that covers both hands, these tattoos could not be grouped together under any particular theme—the only similarity they share is that of beauty.
Stunning and wildly conspicuous, these pieces are not meant to be covered up in any way—and why should they be?
